Progress?

The Washington Post reports that a task force of federal and local law enforcement have arrested 9 drug dealers from a gang called the 4th Street Mob. Yeah, that’s right 4th Street Mob as in 4th Street, NW as in right in the heart of lower Petworth.

The Post says: “The suspects were part of a group known as the 4th Street Mob, a long-standing drug crew that has sold multiple kilos of crack, cocaine and marijuana from its base in the 4200 block of 4th Street NW, according to police and FBI officers. The group has been “shut down for business,” the law enforcement officials said.”

Holy cow, the 4200 block of 4th Street is right near where I live. Yikes. Let’s hope this is a debilitating blow and not merely a nuissance for these dealers.
